The Tertullianistae

In 388 a group known as the Tertullianistae appear in the literary record.
They came from Carthage. The sect gained rapid conversions at Rome and was patronized by a
supporter of the usurper Magnus Maximus. Soon, however, the group vanished again, when its
surviving members in Carthage rejoined the Catholics and surrendered their basilica to
bishop Aurelius.
